Lackawanna cop has top municipal pay
$233,929 heads WNY list compiled by Albany group
Police officers and firefighters top the list of Western New York’s highest-paid municipal workers, starting with an officer from Lackawanna.
Mark A. Cellini, a Lackawanna police officer for 25 years, was the best-paid local government employee in 2013-14, pulling in $233,929, according to the Empire Center for Public Policy, a conservative-leaning think tank based in Albany.
But that was nothing compared with the state’s highest-paid government employee, who wasn’t Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, but Charles E. Ewald, the warden at Suffolk County Correctional Facility. He made $414,527.
In fact, 1,803 government employees across New York were paid more than Cuomo, whose salary is $179,000.
Those are some of the findings released Thursday in the Empire Center’s latest edition of “What They Make,” an overview of local government payrolls for the period between April 1, 2013, and March 31, 2014.
